Minus 9 to 5
A Bold Formula for Hampton Roads’ Youngest Residents
From the time a mother finds out she is pregnant through the child’s fifth birthday, there are many excellent services and programs that serve nearly 75,000 children and families throughout Hampton Roads. Unfortunately, access to these programs and services, and the information provided, is not uniform across all demographics. Not all of the hospitals, clinics, providers, and community services set up to help mothers, babies, and families provide the same health care or health information.
Our mission is to identify and bridge the gaps in our current system, to fill holes where necessary, and to expand services to all families in need of reliable prenatal and postpartum health care.
Minus 9 to 5 is a network of multi-disciplinary providers, hospitals, non-profits, and advocates committed to creating change. On this site, you will learn about the challenges we (our community) face collectively, and how we partner with organizations and individuals who are committed to creating better systems for uniformed health care and early childhood programs to support Hampton Roads' mothers, babies and families.
This collective work would not be possible without generous funding from the Hampton Roads Community Foundation.
